The NHL Playoffs are reaching a crescendo with two teams that haven't won a Stanley Cup ever coming from the West. The St. Louis Blues were one of the worst teams on January 7, but may just punch their ticket to their first Stanley Cup Final since 1970. Led by rookie goaltender Jordan Binnington. Binnington started his first game on January 7 and led the team to an improbable 29-9-5 streak to get a key Wild Card spot. A spot they've parlayed into being one game away from a shot at their first Stanley Cup Title. Binnington has been brilliant in the last 4 games, with a 3-1 record, with only 3 GA in 77 shots in the wins. His loss, to be honest, involved what should have been called a hand pass. Will Binnington get the job done in Game 6 (at home) or 7 (in San Jose)? Time will tell. But Binnington shows that a hot goalie can carry a team, and he is the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
